B. Install Python and the dependencies listed below and run the script from an elevated (admin) command prompt and select which options you'd like

Dependencies

This is only to run the script from source, download the exe here

Methods Used

Telemetry

Set the AllowTelemetry string in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DataCollection to 0

DiagTrack Log

Clears and disables writing to the log located in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Diagnosis\ETLLogs\AutoLogger

Services

You can delete or disable the 2 services below:

  • DiagTrack Diagnostics Tracking Service
  • dmwappushsvc WAP Push Message Routing Service

Action:

  • Delete: Remove both services
  • Disable: Set the Start registry key for both services to 4 (Disabled) Located at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\

HOSTS

Append known tracking domains to the HOSTS file located in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc

IP Blocking

Blocks known tracking IPs with the Windows Firewall. The rules are named TrackingIPX, replacing X with the IP numbers.

Windows Defender / WifiSense

Set disabled value to keys in registry for things such as:

  • Windows Defender
    • Automatic Sample Submission
    • Delivery Optimization Download Mode
  • WifiSense
    • Credential Share
    • Open-ness

OneDrive

Runs C:\Windows\SysWOW64\OneDriveSetup.exe /uninstall (64 bit) or
C:\Windows\System32\OneDriveSetup.exe /uninstall (32 bit)

Also disables registry entries that keep the OneDrive Icon pinned to your Windows Explorer list: OneDrive Example Image

Delete Services vs Disable Services?

Selecting "Disable" will simply stop the services from being able to run. Selecting the "Delete" choice will completely delete the tracking services.
